Don't see where Arsenal's goal threat is supposed to come from. Arteta and Cazorla have the talent to create them but the final third options are pretty woeful. Everytime I've seen Giroud he's looked largely trash, doubt Podolski can be relied on to get 15-20 goals a season and Walcott and Gervinho are shit. AOC is the real deal but Wenger doesn't seem to like playing him for whatever reason.
Sterling starting for Liverpool is interesting in a good way. Looked great vs Hearts but suddenly playing him vs Man City is a risk. Better than playing Downing though so goon on Brendan. Hoping more than expecting for Liverpool to take something.
Does Lescott have a knock or something? Otherwise why is Kolo starting?
the same as silva i suspect, both have had no pre-seasons and looked poor vs southampton. precautionary most likely. and showing that we need to get another cb.
